About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Safeway, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The store’s cat would always jump onto the counter and meow insistently whenever milk arrived. No one else could reproduce this behavior—just that specific brand of milk. One day, the delivery driver decided to play along. He brought home a carton of that special milk and poured it into a bowl for the cat. To everyone's surprise, the cat took one sniff and walked away, completely ignoring the milk. It turned out the feline was just after the driver’s breakfast cereal.

2. At Safeway, after closing hours, an overnight stocker heard a strange humming noise coming from the pharmacy section. Curious, he approached and saw only a small neon sign flashing ‘Open.’ Turns out, it was just an old timer keeping watch over the late-night inventory. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh when they found him dozing behind the counter—oblivious to his nightly duties.

3. At Safeway, during the early morning rush hour, a cashier overheard two customers arguing in whispers. They were debating whether it was legal to park on the fire hydrant outside. Curious, the cashier leaned closer and heard one whisper, ‘It’s probably fine as long as no fire trucks come.’ The other replied softly, ‘But what if they do? We’re already late!’ Just then, an old lady from next door entered, muttering, “I’ll never understand why people can’t just park properly.” Everyone laughed, and the argument dissolved into good-natured banter.

4. At Safeway, late one night when everyone had gone home, a security guard heard soft footsteps approaching the pharmacy counter. The guard followed the sound and found an old cat peering curiously into the glass cabinet. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood stray that had wandered in through an open door. The guard gently shooed it outside with a broom, laughing softly as he did so.
